f(g(2))=2
.
g(f(x))=15x+14

Explanation:

Assuming you mean:
f(x)=3x4
g(x)=x22
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To determine f(g(2))

g(2)=222 = 42 = 2

f(g(2))=3(2)4 = 64 = 2

f(g(2))=2

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To determine g(f(x))

Given that f(x)=3x4 then

g(f(x))=(3x4)22

g(f(x))=(9x24x+16)2

g(f(x))=15x+14
